Uhmm... Last Sunday, during service, Ps Peter Tsukahira preached bout "The People of the Kingdom of God".
And suddenly I thought of this, "I guess I know 2 of the reasons/purposes of God bringing me to Singapore" (previously, I really didn't know why...).
It is to bring me to BBTC to deal with me the following two issue in my life:
1. No condemnation, even self-condemnation. To have mercy for myself n others. Grace... and grace only... My salvation, value, etc are all by the grace of God only.. There's no need to prove myself.. There's no need to strive for acceptance, for significance..
2. Sacred v.s Secular
(Through how the lay-people serve 'fulltimely', and confirmed by Ps Tsukahira's today message).
Well, I'm not saying "Yayyy... I don't need to be a pastor anymore". I still believe God calls certain people to be in "full-time ministries as in pastors, missionaries, etc", just like He calls doctors, teachers, plumbers, etc. I mean, imagine if I become a pastor before having this long time planted mindset dealt with, I'll be an inmostly arrogant pastor/person, thought that I'm a so obedient child of God, wei da, better than others, etc...
Ohh.. I thank You, Lord... for Your perfect plan in my growing process... Who am I God, that You are so mindful of me??
